- What skills/abilities do you feel teachers need to have to help students become successful in a globally interconnected world in the 21st century?
- Looking at the teachers you have had, what are their strengths and what are their weaknesses?
- There is a lot of discussion in K-12 education about the importance of content knowledge (knowing a lot of “stuff” about math, science, social studies, language arts, etc.) versus the importance of learning skills and students being able to construct their own understanding of material/ideas that are new to them (being able to “learn how to learn”). What do you find your classes focusing on? Facts vs creativity and process??????
- Students will have to be able to work in a collaborative work environment when they enter the workforce, do you feel you classes sufficiently prepare you to do that?
- Tell us a little bit about any changes in school you would like to see in the next 5-15 years (and beyond)?
- What types of technologies should our teacher be proficient at using and utilize in the classroom?
- What was the best learning/educational experience you have had? Why?
- If you were going to design a 21st century school from the ground up, what are three key features you would include? These features could be physical (building features), pedagogical (teaching techniques/approach), structural (curriculum, schedule, etc.), technological (specific tools/software/experiences), etc.
- When we're done today, what's the one most important "take-away" message you'd like our teachers and students to hear?
